Putin gives Trump enough to claim progress on Ukraine peace

In the run for today’s call, Donald Trump made a great deal of his conversation with Vladimir Putin of Russia.

But the results seem as if there is very little to shout.

The Russian President has given enough enough to the US leader to claim that he has progressed towards peace in Ukraine, without showing that he was played by Kremlin.

Trump may indicate Putin’s pledge to prevent attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for 30 days. If this actually happens, it will give some relief to the citizens.

But it is not with full and unconditional ceasefire anywhere that America wanted from Russia.

“Very terrible war” Trump has insisted that he can stop is still fierce.

And Putin, A person was inspired by ICC as a suspected war criminalA leg-up is given at the top level of global politics.

The Russian state media reports that the phone calls of two presidents lasted for more than two hours. Kremlin Redout – Its account of call – is also long on 500 words.

This presents the conversation as a mat: he clearly discussed ice hockey, the way a spectators in Russia would be back.

After three years as a Paria in the western world, and long before that Russia is working directly with an American administration that wants to attach.

The two leaders are also discussing the Middle East peace and “global security”.

The Kremlin must struggle to believe in change.

Next to the call, some people were surprised whether Donald Trump could actually put some pressure on Russia. Eventually, it has become clear from more than a week that it was stopping the ceasefire.

But there is no indication of dressing for Putin, such as a Ukraine leader Volodimier Zelanski had to bear a fortnight ago in the Oval Office.

The accounts of the two countries show that nothing has changed.

Russia repeats that he wants peace. But instead of grounding its drone and solving its guns, it is focusing on how non-existent ceasefire can be monitored.

Meanwhile, it is adding even more conditions, aimed at reducing the ability to oppose Kiev.

One demand is that from its colleagues, Ukraine will have to stop the flow of both arms and intelligence.

For Ukrainians, the only piece of hope is that America does not agree to any of this – yet.

They can also indicate the call as more proof that Russia is not interested in ending its attack.

But by talking all this, Ukraine will get minimal relief from his grief.

For American diplomacy, it should also be disappointing.

But for the Kremlin it will feel like a very good day, unimaginable before Donald Trump returns to the White House.
